Asanko Gold (AKG): An Off-the-Radar Potential WinnerNovember 23, 2016

It commonly happens in stock investing that investors miss the chance of buying winning stocks that they knew would stand out. Before they take the plunge, others get to know the hidden potential and enter into these stocks, pushing them out of reach.

So, instead of repenting, spotting the off-the-radar potential winners and immediately investing in them could be a smart decision.

One such company that looks well positioned for a solid gain, but has been overlooked by investors lately, is Asanko Gold Inc. (AKG - Free Report) . This Mining – Gold stock has actually seen estimates rise over the past month for the current fiscal year by about 20%. But that is not yet reflected in its price, as the stock lost 12.9% over the same time frame.

You should not be concerned about the price remaining muted going forward. This year’s expected earnings growth over the prior year is significantly high, which should ultimately translate into price appreciation.

So if you are looking for a stock flying under-the-radar that is well-equipped to bounce down the road, make sure to consider Asanko Gold. Solid estimate revisions and an impressive Zacks Rank suggest that better days may be ahead for AKG and that now might be an interesting buying opportunity.Zacks' Top Investment Ideas for Long-Term Profit
